FRIDAY PHOTO FLASHBACK

I started "Friday Photo Flashback" because I have so many pictures from my PRE-digital camera days. I thought it would be fun to scan them and share them here with you. I'm having so much fun doing this, that I would love for you to join me, too! So dig out the photo albums and put your scanner to good use! Don't forget to sign in to MckLinky so we can all visit and comment on each others blogs!

1971

San Francisco

Fisherman's Wharf

San Francisco makes me think of my mom and dad. When we were little, we would always take drives over there, and my mom and dad would always get the shrimp cocktail at Fisherman's Wharf. My sister and I would bring a pillow as if we were going on a long trip, and my dad would always have his Bit O' Honey candy, and my mom would snack on her peanut brittle. It's funny because I can't stand those two things!!

In this picture are my mom and I on the left, and my aunt and my sister on the right. I was two, and my sister was four years old.

Do you see those buildings in the background? Those two restaurants are still open to this day!

What is also pretty cool about this picture is the cop car on the left side! Is that so old school or what?!

I'm also linking up with Amanda @Parenting by Dummiessince we have similar Friday meme's! You will enjoy her blog, and also love seeing pictures of her beautiful kids! You can also link up on her blog too! So, I encourage you to go, and make new bloggy friends!

Is Fishermen's Grotto the place where they serve the best clam chowder on the planet? I remember that place well and I think I have a photo of it somewhere!!! Love the pic. It brings back wonderful memories.

Alicia, you were so cute. I've been to Alioto's Restaurant on Fishserman's Wharf many times. And it's funny because I graduated high school in 1971. I love how our blogging world brings so many of us of different ages together.

I love looking at your photos when you were little! A lot of the styles remind me of some of our old pics :o)(I am older than you and would have been 7 or 8 in 1971...but I remember my mom wearing a headscarf like your mom's.)

Blessings & Aloha!(late linking up...again :o) I still have to visit the other participants from last week!!!)
